We spent our first full day in Munoces on Tuesday. After a greeting by the community...complete with a band and singing...we spent the rest of the morning at the school. We reviewed a little of their English skills and did a drawing project with the students drawing something that they liked and writing both the Spanish word and the English word for their drawing. Unfortunately, the older students did not have class that day because their instructor was unable to find transportation to the community, but several came to join us in spite of having a day off. We ended the session with a game of Twister...a big hit!
I can envision many fun times at the school playing Twister...especially during the rainy season when they can't go outside to play.
After lunch we met with the directiva...kind of like the city council...to learn of the projects underway in the community and their hopes for future projects. We finished off the day with a community soccer game. The only two of our delegation with the courage and fortitude to join in were Steve and Peder Hopkins. They represented us well but....
Unfortunately, Steve had to be carried off the field with a sprained ankle. He is being treated by our resident physical therapist, Linda Anderson, and will be demonstrating the use of the emergency evacuation chair donated by Peter VanElsWyk when we go back to Munoces later this morning.
As I write on Wednesday morning some of the group are in a neighboring town picking up the fertilizer that we will deliver later this morning. Warren took "La Tortuga" to Munoces this morning and will be interviewing the families new to the community before we arrive with the fertilizer. More on all that later......
